CRyptonite ventured out to the Hub City Regional for the first time in our history, and was not disappointed. At
the end of an extremely intense qualifications schedule, Team 624 was selected
by Team 118 The Robonauts from Clear Creek High School. With 118 falling twice
while climbing, the alliance pushed through quarterfinals, winning a tough
tiebreaker against the number 6 alliance led by FRC team 418. With 624 getting
rotors spinning, and 118 filling up the boiler, 624 won the first semis.
However, 624 proceeded to lose the next two semis, led by a powerhouse
alliance, included 3847 from Strake and 1477 from the Woodlands. Although
losing the robot game, 624 succeeded in winning the Chairman's award, the most
prestigious award in FRC. This award recognized our outreach efforts to spread
our love of stem to as many people as possible. In addition, the award
qualifies us for World Championships, and we are excited to compete at the Houston Champs in mid April!
